    raise ImportError("Numba needs NumPy 1.21 or less")

Additional Information

Since numba package is always late with numpy, pinning the numpy version in environment.yml will fix the issue. I downgraded numpy to 1.21 on a local image and it works properly:

FROM birdhouse/finch:version-0.9.1

RUN mamba install -c conda-forge -n finch numpy=1.21 -y && rm -rf /opt/conda/pkgs/*

What! I thought that issue was solved. Pinning xESMF to >= 0.6.3 might solve it. I'll test...

Is this crucial, like do you need a new release very soon, or can we wait a few weeks?

[perronld]

It can wait, since I have a clean workaround to run 0.9.1 in staging.

Other than Louis-David, PAVICS production also need a new Finch so if possible, not in a few weeks. Production has been broken since a few weeks already.

On another note, could the wrong numpy chosen version be due to mamba? mamba is really quick but sometime it needs help to choose the proper versions.
